My point is that attitudes are more fiery which historically has been the case

you are reading to deep into it. I am stating that some groups are overstating historical discrimination.

I think Mexicans are overstating current discrimination.:shrug:

I don't think it matters where illegal immigrants come from, what they look lie or why they hopped the border. The issue is simple:

The priviledges and benefits of living in this country are a finite resource that are only renewed by the contributions of those who participate in the system which provides those services. If we continue to allow large numbers of people to enjoy the benefits of our system without contributing anything back to replenish it then evetually there WON'T BE ENOUGH OF IT FOR EVERYONE. If we continue to allow illegals to enjoy government services at the current rate without doing anything about it we're going to run out of everything, and those of us who pay in won't have anything to show for it. I can keep repeating myself but it won't matter, nodoys getting the point.

So the many recorded cases of "No Irish Need Apply", enough that a song was written about it at the time, doesn't show that there were fiery attitudes?

Methinks that someone is only considering the most current issues to be "serious."

From what I have read, the attitudes towards the Irish were driven by specific religious groups and not wide spread. More sectarian in nature and not widespread. In other words the "signs" and trash talk were sourced from pockets of ethnic groups.

Like future black man digging up some Neo Nazi paraphernalia (Records and news clippings) from Wisconsin to support the claim that there was wide spread racism in the early 21st century.

I certainly don't see discrimination against Mexicans. What groups are claiming that Mexicans are being discriminated against?

Papa...
Please indicate where the song and the sign in the picture are from.
United states
or Great Britain.

It would be rather silly to build this whole case about Irish discrimination when all your evidence is from the UK.

I found this to be an interesting read

So far, searches for actual evidence of discrimination has turned up very little besides the same old anecdotes.

I don't think it's Mexicans per say moreso than the quantity of Mexicans. You may have Koreans, Salvadorians, Haitians etc, but they are not flooding in by the thousands every month.

However, even the child regardless of their race picks the white doll. I'm just sayin.
